as i understood, the code is written in such a way that it relies on 
assembling to the same adress multiple times... like

	* = $1234

   lda #0

	<more stuff here>

	* = $1235

	.byte 5
  
probably quite some work to convert something like that. (but imho worth it, 
this is really a bad way to do things)

Hard work has a future payoff. Laziness pays off now.
